Hrithik Roshan Undergoes Successful Surgery

Actor Hrithik Roshan successfully underwent an hour-and-a-half-long surgery for a significant blood clot in his brain at the Hinduja Healthcare Surgical, Khar, on Sunday. His condition was a result of a head injury he got while shooting for Bang Bang two months ago in Phuket.

“He had complaints of recurring headaches and weakness in his right hand,” neurosurgeon Dr Basant Misra, who operated on Hrithik, told dna. 

CT and MRI scans confirmed that the actor had heavy blood clotting which was compressing the left side of the brain and needed instant surgery. “The injury resulted in the clot. He had constant headaches and that advanced into a clot between the brain membrane and the skull. We did an open surgery wherein we pierced through the skull bone, opened the brain and released the clot,” Dr Misra said.

Hrithik has been advised to stay in hospital for three more days. He can recommence shooting after four weeks. The actor has been doing intense action scenes for his Krrish 3 and Bang Bang. The actor’s wife Sussanne said: “Thank you for all your love and concern.

Hrithik who has created the latest fashion trends 2013 has come out stronger than before. Gratitude and love to all of you for all your good wishes and prayers for him.” Hrithik met his family and friends after the surgery. The actor used Twitter to tell his fans that he was undergoing surgery. “Minor brain surgery to eradicate blood clot (chronic subdural haematoma)’. Should be rock n rolling by evening! U guys have a great day too! Supersonic!!” he tweeted.
